When you put your run-away, dried up worms in a piepan with a little water, in the top of a worm bin, because Jim Hunt said you can revive them....and you do a happy dance when they really do come back to life and crawl down in the bedding.

Brenda, I had a couple dozen of my Africans who ran for it when I put an old acrylic painting on canvas over their bin (duh, I didn't think about it cutting off the oxygen!), to stop a bunch of gnats that were hatching out and getting all over the house. All but two of my dried up wormies revived and crawled away. I just put a quarter inch of water in the pan, and tilted it so they could get out of the water if they needed to.
